HiCIAO: High Contrast Instrument for next generation Adaptive Optics ForSubaru8.2mtelescope BasedonapreviousJapan/MEXTgrant(Tokutei) PI & CoPIs: Motohide Tamura (NAOJ), Klaus Hodapp (UH), Ryuji Suzuki (NAOJ; now TMT) Combined with the curvature-sensing AO with 188 elements (Hayano, Takami et al.) and SCExAO1024 upgrade (Guyon, Martinache et al.) Commissioned in2009 (including Princeton/MPIA teams for angular differential imaging and commissioning) Specifications and Performance 2048x2048 HgCdTe and ASIC readout Wavelengths:1–2.5microns(NIR) Observing modes: DI, PDI (dual beam), SDI (quad beam), & ADI; w/wo occulting masks (>=0.1") Contrasts: 10^-6 at 1", 10^-4 at 0.15" (SDI) Subaru/HiCIAO

HICIAO + Fore-Optics Main access to inside of Cryostat is via VJ Top Cover: Weight ~10 kg HICIAO Fore-Optics; Mounts to AO-Bench Connectors are mounted on a large Sub-Plate to facilitate access to cables through the VJ 3 mm clearance between Fore-Optics and VJ
AO-Bench Interface Plate (Subaru-design); to match up with holes on dowel pins to this face Fore-Optics is decoupled from Vacuum Jacket! 3mm Gap between HICIAO VJ and Fore-Optics Assembly
Starting point for HICIAO Assembly Sequence V-Truss Assembly (Qty=4) VJ Bottom Plate
Note: Lip on the Optics Bench for Light-Seal V-Truss Light Shield Brass Slides Qty=3 Optics Bench Cutouts for Detector Assembly • Brass Slides permit slight adjustments along the optical axis • For Assembly, use shims in places indicated Place Shims here
Shim Location Common Path Filter Wheel Assembly (CPFW) Install Light-Tube-1 to CPFW Use .344 inch thick shim to locate CPFW to nominal position; place shim between Filter cover and inside of Optics Bench
Pupil Wheel Assembly (PW) Slide PW up flush against Light-Tube-1 Light-Tube-1 Install Light-Tube-2
Add Detector Assembly: It must be installed prior to the Differential Path Filter Wheel (DPFW) Detector Assembly Prepare ASIC Flex Ribbon Cable as shown
Light-Tube-2 Tongue Light Shield Bottom out against Light-Tube-2 prior to inserting DFPW To keep the Optics Path light tight, a Tongue & Groove design interface is used for the 2 marked parts; the Tongue Light Shield must be inserted before the DPFW
Filter Wheel Case Once DPFW is installed, bottom out Tongue Light Shield on Filter Wheel Case and secure with 2 screws Tongue Light Shield DPFW
Assembly: Closed Cycle Cooler and 1st Stage Strap to Vacuum Jacket
9x ¼-20 Socket Head Caps with Washer 1st Stage Strap (compliant) 1st Stage Strap is composed of .12mm thick Copper Foils and bent into the configuration shown to cancel out vibrations from the 1050 CTI Cold Head
Clamp type design to secure the 1st Stage Strap to the Optics Bench; screws are located on the inside of the Optics Bench (previous slide)
VJ Lower Body Hex Socket Head M6 x 25 25 Required Evacuation Valve; Rotates through 360 Deg Connectors and Connector Sub-Plates should be installed AFTER the VJ Lower Body has been bolted in place!
Prepare Radiation Shield as shown in this slide; add to Assembly S.H.C.Vented 6-32 x 5/8 32 Required
Radiation Shield without Shield Top Plate Note: This assembly state should be used to wire up the instrument
CTI Cold Finger will slide through the inside of the Getter Shield Getter Shield attached to Radiation Shield Tube 1st Stage Strap
Vibration Isolation Mount Closed Cycle Cooler Assembly 1st Strap Access Cover 2nd Stage Getter Assembly CTI 1050 Cold Head Safety Finger Qty3 Cold Wire to Detector CCC Mount Flange Prior to Vacuum, the CCC Cold Head is loose. After Vacuum is applied Cold Head is compressing the 2 Isolation Rings (Rubber); 3 Safety Fingers limit the motion of the Cold Head with no Vacuum
1050 CTI Cooler assembled to Vacuum Jacket Use these Screws to limit movement of CCC Cold Head when not under Vacuum; 3 Places Access Hole in CCC Mount Flange; used to bolt 1st Stage Strap to CCC Cold Finger
Access Covers to Filter/Lenses Hall Sensor Mount This and next slide show state of disassembly necessary to perform maintenance and change filters/sensors/lenses etc.
HICIAO Installation on NASMYTH • After PDR, Fore-Optics and Vacuum Jacket became 2 independently mounted assemblies • Wollaston Prism is close to Vacuum Jacket for optical performance reasons • Must protect Wollaston Prism from possible collision with Vacuum Jacket upon installation • Next slides discuss new design for mounting procedure of Fore-Optics and Vacuum Jacket on Nasmyth Floor
